Opportunities for new operators in West Africa

Opportunities for new operators in West Africa

As majors shift out of mature West African assets, new opportunities may attract large independents to enter the area.

Welligence’s vice president for Africa research Obo Idornigie said there was a gap for companies to re-examine West Africa, “particularly, deepwater opportunities with operating responsibilities”.

Majors are looking to sell down assets in the region as they focus on new opportunities, not least in the energy transition.
